What does our Good Laboratory Practice standard (GLP) mean to your project?

Control. CPG provides assurance that your samples and test materials are received and handled in accordance with FDA guidelines, which require documentation and procedures to ensure error-free sample tracking. To accomplish this level of control, CPG has:

• Physically separated receiving, general storage and archival areas.
• Implemented a comprehensive sample documentation protocol that includes receipt logging, tracking, running inventory and archiving of all GLP samples.
• Provided physically separate dedicated workbench space for GLP activities that is isolated from GLP sample storage areas as well.
• Provided physically separate dedicated workbench space for GLP activities that is isolated from GLP sample storage areas as well.
• Implemented an effective laboratory cleanliness policy to prevent contamination.

Security. CPG provides assurance that your data is secure. CPG has

• Implemented a secure virtual space for all GLP data that can only be accessed by authorized personnel.
• Provides offsite backup of all computer data.
• Provides secure archiving of laboratory notebooks and samples

Accuracy. To ensure accurate test results CPG has:

• Generated standard operating procedures for all laboratory equipment involved in GLP research.
• Provides frequently scheduled inspection, maintenance, cleaning and calibration for all laboratory equipment involved in GLP research.
• Calibrates all equipment both before and after GLP related testing.
• Established comprehensive standard operation procedure (SOP) for the recording of all data that is designed to prevent recording errors.

Comprehensive reporting. Methods, results and data for all laboratory tests will reported in accordance with FDA guidelines including:

• A fully descriptive protocol with signed records describing any deviation in procedures. The protocol will include:
  • Descriptions of all procedures, including statistical methodologies
  • Descriptions of all conditions that may have influenced the quality or integrity of the data
  • Descriptions of all operations performed on collected data
  • A statement of any conclusions drawn from the results or analysis
  • Signed and dated reports from each scientist involved in the study
  • A statement from our quality assurance unit regarding the accuracy and integrity of the results and conclusions

Accountability. To guarantee that all protocols, SOPs and procedures are implemented properly, CPG has:

• Established a separate Quality Assurance Unit for each GLP project
• Generated a documentation system designed to follow each GLP project step-by-step through to completion
• GLP is important for projects involving FDA submission and quality control development.
